Weekly Fraser Valley Sport Fishing Column and Report

We were hours into our road trip up the west side of the Williston, headed for the Nation River, when I asked; ?How much farther is it to the Nation??

?I Don?t Know,? replied Dennis. ?There is map in the glove box, have a look for yourself.?

The original plan was to go fishing for trophy bull trout, guided by my brother-in-law?s friend. The problem was our guide had fallen down a flight of stairs and broken his leg, two days before I arrived in at my brother-in-law?s place in Prince George. According to my brother-in-law Dennis; this was not a problem, since his friend had told him where to go and how to get there. Ya Right!

I looked at the map to do the first real homework of the trip so far. It took less than a minute before I said to my brother, ?Do you realize the Nation is almost on the Yukon border? I doubt we could make it before dark and that?s if we have the gas. Where did you learn to plan a trip??

?Plan,? echoed my brother-in-law?s voice! ?I?m an Engineer; Everything we do runs on rails, why would I look at a map for??

Now repeat after me ?Some of us get it the first time around?

Well we turned the show around and caught dozens small trout in the feeder streams entering the Williston, while feeding twice that many black flies, on our way back to PG.

Back in town I planned the next trip, which found us on the waters of the Stellako.That story next week.
